Urban Undying Lord
Chapter 568 - 568 587

568: 587 568: 587 “Hmph!”

Suddenly, Shen Tu let out a cold snort, but said nothing further, because after all, he had already won.

Moreover, he was extremely wary of the Power of Six Paths of Reincarnation that Ye Xuan had displayed.

He had yet to figure out Ye Xuan’s real strength and weaknesses and didn’t wish to clash with him at this moment.

Though Shen Tu didn’t want to engage in battle with Ye Xuan at present, it didn’t mean he intended to let Ye Xuan off the hook.

While he wouldn’t take action himself, one must not forget that interfering in the battles of others was a great taboo in the Nuwa Palace.

“May I ask the Holy Nuwa, Ye Xuan has interfered in my battle with the Sword Demon, completely disregarding the rules set by the Saints.

I beseech the Goddess to uphold justice for this disciple.”

Shen Tu knelt down and kowtowed toward the depths of the Star Sea where Holy Nuwa resided, which caught the other Great Divine Powers by surprise, their gazes towards Shen Tu filled with astonishment and suspicion.

“What a move, Shen Tu.

He’s planning for Ye Xuan’s downfall,” the Peng Demon said darkly, a heavy look passing in his eyes.

“Hmph.”

The Southern Immortal let out a cold huff and said, “This cannot be blamed on Shen Tu; it is Ye Xuan who disregarded the rules of the grand assembly, completely ignoring the Saints.

He truly deserves severe punishment.”

Whispers and discussions erupted from all corners as all the Great Divine Powers turned their attention towards the depths of the Star Sea, unsure how Holy Nuwa would deal with Ye Xuan.

At that moment!

Shen Tu continued kneeling, seemingly waiting for Holy Nuwa to administer fair judgment.

However, as he bowed, a vicious and cruel sneer played on his lips, as if he had already envisaged Ye Xuan being punished by Nuwa.

“The Great Dao is impartial, and strength will always prevail.

Since Ye Xuan managed to save someone, that too is his ability.

If you, Ghost Emperor, are not satisfied, this Saint is willing to allow you two to battle it out.”

All of a sudden, a thunderous celestial voice emanated from the depths of the Star Sea, the voice of Holy Nuwa, devoid of any emotion.

Yet, when it reached Shen Tu’s ears, he broke into cold sweat and looked towards Ye Xuan with extreme dread.

Bias, a blatant bias, with no attempt at concealment.

If Ye Xuan’s exhibition of the Power of Six Paths of Reincarnation had already alarmed Shen Tu, then Nuwa’s evident favoritism towards Ye Xuan now absolutely terrified him.

It was clear that it was Ye Xuan who had not abided by the rules, ignoring the Holy Nuwa.

It was Shen Tu who held the moral high ground, and yet, the result was thus; if this wasn’t favoritism towards Ye Xuan, it would be the world’s biggest joke.

Not only was Shen Tu trembling with fear, but all the Great Divine Powers fell into stunned silence, looking at Ye Xuan with extreme trepidation.

Nuwa’s unfair method of handling matters made them believe that she held Ye Xuan in very high regard.

Below the Saints, all are as ants; the so-called fairness in the eyes of the Saints is but a joke.

In simple terms, the will of the Saints is the standard, completely disregarding the opinions of others.

To give the simplest analogy, if two ants fight and request justice from the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon, how could such trivial ants be deemed worth the dragon’s notice?

No one could dispute the injustice of the Saint.

Shen Tu’s expression shifted unpredictably, and he quickly rose from his kneeling position, casting a resentful glance at Ye Xuan before promptly leaving the Chaos Arena.

Clearly, with the Saint favoring Ye Xuan, any attempt by Shen Tu to argue further would simply be tantamount to seeking death.

As for battling Ye Xuan now, Shen Tu hadn’t grown foolish enough for that.

He had just fought a fierce battle with the Sword Demon, and his cultivation had already suffered severe losses.

Engaging in battle with Ye Xuan now would put him at a great disadvantage.

How could Shen Tu commit such folly?

At this moment,

Ye Xuan gazed deeply at the Saint Nuwa in the depths of the Star Sea, a flicker of astonishment crossing his eyes.

He had prepared himself to face the Saint’s censure, but to his surprise, Nuwa seemed to be favoring him.

The will of Saints is enigmatic, and Ye Xuan could not fathom the reason, but he stopped pondering it because his current level of Cultivation was far too inferior to that of the Saint Realm.

Ye Xuan took a step forward, leaving the Chaos Arena as the ancient and melodious Starry Sky Bell Sound rang out, signaling the official start of the fourth competition.

“Hmph!”

The South Pole Immortal Elder rose on a cloud, passing by the returning figure of Ye Xuan, uttering a sound of cold snort, his eyes filled with sheer iciness.

Although Nuwa showed partiality towards him and Ye Xuan exhibited boundless Combat Power, the South Pole Immortal Elder felt no apprehension whatsoever.

Being a Closed-door Disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun and one of the saints’ disciples, he naturally did not share the same fear of Ye Xuan as the others did.

At the same time, the True Monarch of All Laws shrouded in evil light, his face obscured, was strolling into the Chaos Arena.

However, the battle between South Pole Immortal Elder and True Monarch of All Laws did not catch the attention of the major power wielders, because the aura exuded by the True Monarch of All Laws was merely that of the Daluo Eighth Layer Heaven, whereas the South Pole Immortal Elder was a being of the Daluo Nine Layer Heaven, and also a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun—this was a battle without suspense.

As the Starry Sky Bell Sound tolled, the fourth battle officially commenced, but interestingly enough, the major power wielders couldn’t care less to even glance at the battle.

They all turned towards Ye Xuan, voices filled with flattery.

“Emperor Ye’s Cultivation is unparalleled, and ever more so as the overlord of the Three Realms.

This humble Daoist Baiyun wishes Emperor Ye to rise above all, and to graciously wed the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden as his wife.”

“Little Demon Moyun pays respects to Emperor Ye.”

“Poor Daoist Cang Song greets Emperor Ye.”

Power wielders from all sides arrived, the faces of each person painted with an ingratiating hue, firstly because Ye Xuan’s Cultivation was truly terrifying, and secondly because the Saint Nuwa showed favoritism towards Ye Xuan, leading them all to believe that Ye Xuan was destined to be the victor of this grand event.

The strong are respected like mountains, while the weak grovel like ants, even the mighty power wielders are no exception.

Keeping good relations with Ye Xuan would be all advantage to them and no harm.

“Big brother, it seems this time the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden is as good as in your pocket,” laughed the Peng Demon.

Hearing the words of the Peng Demon, Ye Xuan remained silent, simply wearing a faint smile and greeting the incoming power wielders with courtesy, exuding an air of respecting the virtuous and the talented.

Clearly, the power wielders present were a supreme force to be reckoned with.

Ye Xuan, as the Heavenly Emperor, naturally wanted to win these people over.

If some of the major power wielders were to join the Heavenly Court, it would undoubtedly greatly strengthen the Court’s forces.

Bang!

Suddenly, just as Ye Xuan was warmly receiving the various major power wielders, an explosive sound erupted from the Chaos Arena.

A figure, drenched in blood, was violently thrown out and landed harshly outside the arena.

“Guh!”

Blood spurted from the South Pole Immortal Elder’s mouth, his moon-white Daoist robe stained with blood.

His body was cracked like a spider web, his face turned pale as death, and the Immortal Light around him had completely shattered into nothingness.

Silence, an eerie stillness, a stillness as of death.

When this scene unfolded before the eyes of the major power wielders, everyone seemed as if plunged into a dreamland, simply unable to believe what they were seeing.
